The Everton fringe player has been linked with a move to West Bromwich Albion.

According to the Telegraph, West Bromwich Albion is a likely destination for Everton midfielder Tom Cleverley during the current transfer window.

The former England international has struggled for game time since Ronald Koeman took charge at Goodison Park, and with just 10 league appearances this season, totally only 402 minutes of football, it would be no surprise to see the 27-year-old move on.

Cleverley was once tipped as the next big thing in English football after coming through the ranks at Manchester United. However things did not work out at Old Trafford and he has struggled to replicate his best form first at Aston Villa and more recently at Everton.

Other former United players have blossomed at West Brom and Cleverley would be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Darren Fletcher and Jonny Evans if he does arrive at The Hawthorns in the coming weeks.

Given his lack of impact at Everton, there are likely to be few Toffees fans who bemoan his loss, yet the midfielder does possess the innate talent to do well in the top flight if played week in, week out, ensuring his confidence returns in the process.

West Brom are expected to be busy in the winter window and Cleverley may be one of a number of new additions if manager Tony Pulis gets his way.
